To help the white Scall.

THis disease being so odious is a corrupt humour, which is not onely in the head as many doe think, but it depend∣eth of the inward parts, and hath communication with the head, and this humour is like unto the Fume, for continually it vapoureth up, and when it can ascend no more because it is hindered in the skin, then it settleth, and ingrosseth, and causeth the head to break forth in that grievous order as is seen. But I will shew a secret to help it, so that it shall never come again, and the order to make it is thus. You shall give them our Sirrupo Solutivo eight or ten dayes together, that being done, give them our Pillole Aquilone three times, the which pills must be taken every three dayes once, that being done, take Sinaber finely beaten ℥. ii. Olibanum, Mirrha, ana. ʒ. i. mix them together, and divide it into ••ive parts, and make

thereof five perfumes in five mornings, and cover their heads with a cloth, so that it touch not the head, then let the powder be cast on by little and little untill it be spent, upon a chafing∣dish of coals, and so let them stand covered one hour with∣out moving, and this doe every one of the times, that being done, annoint the head for the space of a moneth with Oil of Wax, and Turpentine, and they shall be helped, for this is a remedy that cannot fail, for I have proved it an infinite of times, in Palermo, in Mesina, in Naples, in Rome, and in Venice, and alwayes I have had good successe, to my great credit, and profit of the diseased person.
